[update] i have copied the two primary partitions using gparted. now i am stuck trying to copy a single volume because it is made of two physical volumes each on separate disk...ideas?
/sda5, /sdb1 = vg0
need sdc1 = need same info from vg0 on old disk
[/update]
I have a VM I need to put on a physical machine. I have two virtual disks though and the second of the two virtual disks is used to expand one of the filesystem partitions (not sure which one). The method of cloning each of the virtual disks (or both using the disk - image option) is too cumbersome.
So now, I've added a third virtual disk. I would like to use something like DD to copy over the file partitions over to the third virtual disk (which is now called /dev/sdc).
/dev/sda=34 gb /dev/sdb=81 gb /dev/sdc (new) = 160gb.
This is a Suse 11 box. df -h yields:
pvdisplay shows:
vgdisplay shows:
What would be the general steps to do this? Thanks. Once I have a single bootable third virtual disk, then, I can clone the single disk to my physical server.
